In this [website](https://www.legis.ga.gov/committees/senate/81), I wanted to capture **subcommittee** members. But even if i select the subcommittee members and save the monitor it only captures main committee members only. What can we done for this?

@srimathi.venkatachal the “subcommittees” tab requires a click to render its content. have you tried using a macro to switch to “subcommittees” before monitoring its content?

1. a crawler is used to index a website’s content and monitor them for changes. when you need to monitor a full website or a subsection of the website, the “Website” monitor creates a crawler to crawl and monitor the website’s content.

2. profiles are deprecated and should no longer be used.

3. conditions are used to decide if an alert should be triggered or not. global conditions apply those rules to all monitors.

4. ai summary is used for three things: 1. creating an executive summary of the change 2. flagging if a change is important 3. extracting custom data from the page being monitored. for more details, please see [AI Change Summary](https://distill.io/docs/web-monitor/ai-change-summary/)

5. error actions help get alerted when something is not right with a monitor so that a corrective action can be taken. here is a detailed article on this topic: [Get notifications on errors](https://distill.io/docs/web-monitor/error-actions/)

feel free to reach out if you have any questions. cheers!
